How to configure CVS on OS X 19:18 on Friday
If you want to use the TextMate CVS Bundle, you need to set up CVS on the command line first. Here’s what you need to do:
Add the following environment variable declaration to your bash ~/.profile file, replacing the values with pointers to your repository. I’ve used a remote repository in this example.
export CVSROOT=:pserver:username@yourserver.com:/path/to/cvsroot
If you’re not comfortable with doing CVS updates on the command line, I suggest you install CVL. You might find it looking a bit arcane, but believe me, it’s the best CVS gui for OS X there is. Well, Eclipse is not bad either, but at 80 megabytes it is a bit heavy if you only need an easy interface to CVS.

Omg, CVS! 80s called, they want their revision control software back :)
Luckily Textmate has great plugins for Subversion, Mercurial and other modern revision control software, too =)

Well… we had a long discussion about this. It came down to whether we use an old and trusted system or a newer, upcoming system. As you can see, we went with the old one.
Personally, I don’t really have an opinion apart from “they all suck”. I’m not a fan of made by nerds for nerds, with love typeof software.
